What wondrous love is this, O my soul! O my soul!

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,

May God be with you.
And also with you.
Open your hearts.
We open our hearts to God.
Let us give thanks to God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our God, Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
thy kin-dom come; thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kin-dom, and the power, and the glory, forever and
ever.
Amen.

...with the strain of waiting.
Have Mercy.

...in these challenging times.
Have Mercy.

Amen.

From the Zealot’s Perspective Mark Weir
Hymn O Sacred Head Now Wounded NCH 226 verse 1, 3
O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, your only crown,
How pale you are with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!
How does your visage languish with one was bright as morn?
What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest friend;
For this your dying sorrow, your pity without end?
May I be yours forever; and though my days be few,
O Savior, let me never out-live my love for you!
Scripture John 19: 1-5, 19 Paul Pederzani
